Record 224: Silver Powder
The backyard of Lanxianglou is very quiet, the dusk is getting darker, and it is like a curtain, covering the sky light inch by inch.
And Ge'er was thinking randomly in her mind, and suddenly she heard a knock on the door outside—
She frowned in a daze. How could anyone come here at this moment?
"Miss Ge'er, is it better?" Zhao Chonghuan's voice seemed to be outside the door.
When Ge'er heard this, he was immediately happy. He hurriedly held his throbbing head, got off the couch, packed up his dress, and went to open the door.
"Small man!" She quickly opened the door.
Zhao Chonghuan looked up and down at the other party, smiled slightly and said, "Following the girl's activities and reactions, the brain and skull are not seriously damaged! It's just skin trauma!"
Ge'er smiled gratefully: "I didn't expect that Xiaopai is also good at the art of being a good girl. It's true that he can't behave like a person!" While speaking, he welcomed Zhao Chonghuan in, then held the lamp and wanted to serve tea for the other party.
Zhao Chonghuan hurriedly stopped him: "You are injured, don't be polite! I just used tea in the Yanei place!"
Ge'er thought that the tea here was simple, and she was really embarrassed to treat this unique guest, so she felt a little disappointed: "I don't have good tea here, so I can't treat you!"
"Where is there!" Zhao Chonghuan waved his hand, "I am also from a poor family, so why bother with grievances! But occasionally I caught the eyes of the yamen and helped a little!"
Ge'er smiled gently and invited her to sit down on the side of the small table.
"I wonder if the matter that Xiaochao investigated has progressed? Then, Liang Xifan can admit that whoever instructed him to steal the "Blue Peach, Butterfly and Bird Picture"?" After Zhao Chonghuan sat down, Ge'er asked anxiously.
"Shi'er's incident has indeed made some progress!"
A few bright lights fell in Zhao Chonghuan's starry eyes, and they were as bright as the moon floating on the water.
She looked at Ge'er for a moment without answering the latter's next question directly, "However, I'm still confused and want the girl to answer it for me!"
Ge'er also looked at Zhao Chonghuan's gaze. As her eyes met, her heart trembled inexplicably.
At a moment, she felt that the boy's eyes were like a lake filled with infinite light and brightness, with shimmering light on the waves, with spring swallows crossing, green willows brushing against the water, and graceful and soft reflections.
Anyone who looked at her directly seemed to be surrounded by the warmth in the Wanghu Lake without any struggle, and would just fall down and be blocked.
Her eyes were a bit like Shier's eyes, both bright and warm.
"What are your questions about Xiaochao?" Ge'er asked in a daze, staring Zhao Chonghuan's eyes.
"How did Miss Ge'er get the martial arts secret medicine like Forget about the Embroidery?" Zhao Chonghuan said straight to the point.
Ge'er's myth was instantly shattered by this sentence, and she suddenly felt a light cold attack on her body and couldn't help but tremble.
Her eyes suddenly became alert: "What does Xiaochao mean?"
Zhao Chonghuan's eyes remained motionless. As if there was water on his lips under the light, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Miss Ge'er should understand what I mean? If there was no such thing, why would Yanei leave Lanxiang Tower alone in the middle of the night?"
"This thing is a mythical thing. What is more powerful than ordinary incense is that it is colorless and tasteless, and it is very easy to bewitch people's hearts. But it has a strange feature, that is, if it is burned with ambergris, it will leave a little silver powder! This is probably something that even the incensemaker himself did not expect!"
"Amberg can activate blood circulation, benefit essence, help the yang path, and promote blood circulation. Perhaps because of the frightened Yanei, the wife of Liujun, asked for some ambergris from the palace to use!"
"And I happened to find a little silver powder in the incense burner in the wing room! That was something you didn't intend to leave when you burned this item with ambergris!"
"As for the others, you should only use a little ordinary pill! A Niu said that they were sleepy late at night recently. They were all japanese entourages, and they changed shifts on a daily basis. They would have to rest during the day at night, and they shouldn't be so sleepy at night!"
...
Zhao Chonghuan's expression was shallow, and when he spoke, he seemed to be talking about an insignificant gossip.
Ge'er's eyes slowly lowered as she said, and her head held hard seemed to be constantly tapped by those words that looked like heavy hammers, causing the wound to become more and more painful, but she remained silent.
After a moment of pause, she looked up at Zhao Chonghuan, her eyes covered with black haze and shrillness, as if the junction of the sky and water before the storm was about to come, it was turbid.
"Why does Xiaochao understand such things as Forget about things like "After pausing for a moment, her tone was deserted, like the desolate and quiet behind the fireworks.
Zhao Chonghuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes still bright like a lamp, and his fair white fingers accidentally tapped the following cases: "I am just curious!"
She leaned forward with a sincere expression: "I'm not here to expose you, I just want to know where your obsession comes from?"
"I bought it with money!" Ge'er rubbed her wounds hard, and said casually in a depressed state.
"No, it was given to you by Aunt Ten!" Zhao Chonghuan said firmly.
Ge'er was stunned and suddenly hit the wound on the head unconsciously, causing her to gasp in pain.
"You-" Her eyes were red and her voice trembled, and she didn't know how to answer the conversation.
"Tell me, what does it have to do with Aunt Shi?" Zhao Chonghuan's eyes were bright and he was approaching step by step.
"The head and bloody clothes of the female corpse were also asked to put you in the yamen room, right? It was to attract the attention of the investigators! Even in order to make everyone pay attention, you deliberately guide everyone's eyes towards Shi'er turning into ghosts!"
Ge'er's defense finally began to collapse and the ice disappeared. Her lips trembled like cherry blossoms in the wind. After a bleak wind, it fell into mud. Tears were swept by the wind, and the shadows seemed to be unable to hide them anymore.
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault..." She covered her face with her hands and choked out.
Zhao Chonghuan stared at the crying woman in front of her, with sympathy.
"I will help you find out who kidnapped Shi'er!" She waited silently for the other party to relieve her emotions before saying, "But you have to tell me why Aunt Shi wants to form an alliance with you?"
